St. Mark's Coffee House is a really cool spot with an atmosphere that makes you want to hang out. The coffee is excellent, and the cookies are exceptional super fresh and unique. It's definitely a place I'm coming back to! The location is beautiful, and I highly recommend grabbing a seat outside for a refreshing experience. Inside, the vibe is also great, with cool lighting and what looks like a partially-fixed ceiling that surprisingly adds a vintage, charming style that people seemed to love. Plus, they have some very cool t-shirts for sale! It’s a genuinely nice place to meet friends. A few things kept this from being a five-star review, though. First, it can get very loud inside, with people talking quite loudly on their phones and to each other. Second, I ordered a panini sandwich, and it was just okay not the best. Finally, and this is the main reason for docking a star: midway through eating my sandwich, I noticed a small, very obvious hair on the plate (it looked like a mustache hair). I know these things happen, but it was enough to make me throw out the rest of my brunch. Despite that minor mishap and the noise level, the fantastic coffee, the amazing cookies, and the overall cool atmosphere mean I'll absolutely be giving St. Mark's another visit.

Very cute coffee shop in a nice chill location just out of downtown. I will say I’m not particularly a fan of the espresso here it’s quite acidic and sharp and I tend to prefer a smooth roast. But the Italian soda was delicious and the service was wonderful. They also had a delicious looking bakery case. Everything in there looked mouthwatering I wish I hadn’t ate before coming in.

Thank you for being just what I needed this morning after walking over from the Sarah Cannon Research Institute where my mom was receiving treatment. The gentleman who helped me (barist-bro) was so kind and made me laugh with the “smells like warm Lucky Charms” about keeping the different syrups straight when ordering latte’s. Just a great experience.

Love it. Consistetly friendly and comfortable, with great sunshine by the large south window, or darker further in, with a small front patio and a big one on the back side. Coffee drinks are good, delicious soup (vegetarian chili was a happy choice on a cold day), and yummy pastry. Great place to meet with friends, or just quietly do one’s reading or working. Not fancy, but rather chill and essential to my well being. Grateful for its continued existence in Denver.
